Kevin Richardson will run the Olympic Torch Relay on Tuesday (January 15) to promote his Just Within Reach environmental foundation.
Richardson, the 142nd torchbearer in the relay, will carry the flame for three blocks on Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles.
The Olympic Torch Relay, an Olympic tradition since 1952, began on November 19, when the torch was lit in Olympia, Greece. It will be carried to the Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, next month.
Richardson launched the Just Within Reach Foundation a year ago to provide environmental education and promote personal responsibility with regard to the health of the planet.
Kevin will be carrying the Olympic Torch to represent JWR tomorrow (Jan. 15) in LA at 2:24pm. This is official per the JWR foundation and they will release a statement soon. Here's the route the torchbearers will be running:
11:40 am Arrives
at Olvera Street Olvera Street to the Coliseum (ceremony)
2:40 pm Arrives LA Coliseum (ceremony)
Vicki Hanna said he'd be running around 2:24 PM, so that would put him near the Coliseum (I'd guess on Figueroa at Adams or Jefferson Blvd. if you know the area - below I-10 on the map).
